Me too!
Lol thank you!
Thank you! Took forever to do. My ADHD is not a fan of projects that take more than an hour or two to do. Almost deleted it twice because it took so long.
Thank you!
Clearly a genre that needs more exploitation. Vampires Beyond the Thunder Dome! I love the movies and the one video game.
Wanted to end the series with a bang. What do you think?

In this vampire series I need to do at least one painting that really showcases the teeth. This is my attempt. How did I do?

I'm shocked... /s
Thank you!
Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
I love this! That's how to do cosplay if I've ever seen it.
Worth it though, right?
And thank you!
When I saw the reference photo of Charli XCX I thought to myself, now THAT'S a vampire! Plus I hadn't done one with teeth or blood yet. And now I have.

Thank you!
It wasn't her wings or teeth that gave it away. But the reflection she did not have.
When I started this piece I was planning to paint a reflection. Silly me. Looks unsettling without it which I think fits the scene.

I'm trying for a modern Gothic look. When I look for vampire reference material the outfits are almost all from the Victorian era. This is my attempt to modernize the style a bit. What do you think? What would a modern vampire wear?

If you're thinking it's only July you'd be wrong. How do I know? My wife at I went shopping this weekend and 3 of the 4 stores were Halloween decked out. Clearly that means it's October...
And I wanted you try to paint a vampire.

I pulled a black and white photo of this young man and had to paint his hair. But I felt like it needed out of this world colors. What do you think?
And as a bald man who once had hair that was always complimented by the barber, maybe I'm a little envious.

Hosted by https://bsky.app/profile/artsallianceofstfd.bsky.social, our model, https://bsky.app/profile/ludmedinaartola.bsky.social was great.
This one is my favorite by far is the black and white of Ludmila's face is by far my favorite. I feel like I really captured her spirit here.
Second pose from Dilnoza Abdusalimova. I tried to convey the energy I feel watching the video and hearing the music but in a still image.

Modern witches would never use a broom as transport when there is perfectly comfortably furniture! Fly in comfort ladies!
And the robe, IT HAS POCKETS!!

Thank you!
ADHD is a bitch sometimes, and other times a superpower.
